Ours was British Racing Green...

@pip-bip -- Now there's a survivor that probably would benefit from the @Svend World Tour. Can't remember when I last saw the once commonplace US equivalent at all, let alone in such good shape.

@Highlander

Quite possibly the best dad car on OPPO.

@pip-bip
If you mean 'bondo' then yes...that too.

I still remember, as a child, being mesmerised by the asphalt as it dashed beneath my feet through the large hole in the front passenger footwell of my mother's enthusiastically but incuriously flogged Datto, circa 1978.

@pip-bip looks nice though I think I'd prefer a low level or ducktail spoiler

@pip-bip I found this

@KAC said in late night oppo:

@pip-bip I approve this color choice.

Me too. It helps them to find me in the shrubbery...

@pip-bip mmmm mell jad.

they brought it back for the 2024 model.

@pip-bip not gonna lie, you got my attention here.

@pip-bip Wait... I'm a racecar driver?

@pip-bip There is a lot going on, on there ...

No sure how this picture helps selling a car, though ?

@A-Former-User Thats why I got it👌

@pip-bip in the thumbnail I thought the guy's hoodie was an open scissor door.

@MidEngine Amazingly I did very little wrenching on my piece of $575 shit. After 2 years of pedal to the metal driving it dropped a valve seat and internally combusted the piston. RIP little blue datsun 1975-1995.

@facw finding good boots is like finding a good dentist.

Nice work! Heaps of great information in there. Quite a lot of focus on the American market, given we're talking about a Japanese car sold globally. But in a way that's apt since they were actively trying to break into that market as well as appealing to buyers at home. I particularly enjoyed reading about the design's focus on utility. I feel like that's long been a core pillar of the Zs (until the Z33) - utility and usefulness over raw sports-car ability, and that it's always helped the car find buyers. IIRC, The Z32 outsold the RX-7, 3000GT, Supra and NSX sales combined. It may be remembered as the lesser car of the era, but it sold like hotcakes. And part of it is due to the flexibility in seating and roof styles, which was clearly intended for the Zs right from the very start.

Shout out to this guy who appears to be a Z32 2-seater targa, 94-97

@Just-Jeepin
Beauty! I remember when it was on BaT a few years ago. I wonder if it will get to $20k again.

@pip-bip
Any tougher and they'd rust.....oh hang on.

@sony1492 It needs a shell swap, the a pillars are rusted out at the base, god only knows the condition of frame rails, floor pans, etc... it bad.

@pip-bip Its a 280Z 2+2 limo. But no park bench bumpers!

@pip-bip that also seems a little odd for a japanese car designer yes

@pip-bip Oh no! Its suspension is broken! Give it to me and I'll fix it.

@pip-bip Night

@pip-bip
Nice car... dreadful bicycle.

@pip-bip -- Looks a though he has wrapped his car with prints of darkness...

My condolences. Snow and cold are evil.

Luckily it will be 77 degrees in DC this Saturday. False summer! Whoo hoo!

Which means it will probably be 17 degrees in another week or two.

@pip-bip 'nite, pip!

@Just-Jeepin Shaved door handles?! Ggrrr....

@pip-bip
My mother had one.

Let's just say she was a confident and free-spirited driver when I was a lad and my grandma (who didn't drive) always preferred the train...

@pip-bip Finally a garage that's dirty and cluttered like mine.

G night

#nofilter #CampaignForRealGarages #DirtyIsPretty

I have an orange one so I'll take the green.

@Highlander said in Morning shots:

@trivet last night I was at a friends house for a party and met a local dude who has a B&B. He invited me to a coffee sampling test event at his B&B!! Actual flights of coffee, I think I'll go if I have time.

HIGHLY recommended if you like coffee.

There is a small coffee place near me that offers a coffee flight - it gave me the chance to try a lot of new brews and/or flavors that I might not have.....found some new favorites! 🙂

@pip-bip LOVE that profile. Just. Perfect.

@Just-Jeepin Its a 280, they are always cheaper. They are 300lbs heavier, but I'm not sure how much the park bench bumpers weigh, but the retractable seatbelt units are like10lbs each.

Congrats, Professor Higgins!

@415s30 My euro Daytona is really bad for that, people have said they can follow the car just by smelling it. It is common on all Daytonas although I suspect a US Daytona with operating (correctly) smog gear might be a bit better.

This is starting up on a very cold day (see frost on the garage roof), although the emmisions are mainly steam.

@sony1492 you did such a good job on that car, I hope it's still around and being driven.

@pip-bip Night

@Albino-Kangaroo said in Morning in Montana:

Even with bears probably hanging out right behind you. I never saw any but had double cans if bear repellant. Held on to them with my life like a total tourist.

My uncle Dave posted some pics of a griz in garbage down by Florence last night. Yes bear spray is smart to have, I've never deployed it in my life and I don't want to.

@Just-Jeepin Chevy van is some inspiration for @Rusty-Vandura

Rusty will always be patinaed.
